WASP-107b's density is even lower: a case study for the physics of planetary gas envelope accretion and orbital migration

Caroline Piaulet, Björn Benneke, Ryan A. Rubenzahl +21

With a mass in the Neptune regime and a radius of Jupiter, WASP-107b presents a challenge to planet formation theories. Meanwhile, the planet's low surface gravity and the star's b…

TOI-519 b: a short-period substellar object around an M dwarf validated using multicolour photometry and phase curve analysis

H. Parviainen, E. Palle, M. R. Zapatero-Osorio +43

Context: We report the discovery of TOI-519 b (TIC 218795833), a transiting substellar object (R = 1.07 RJup) orbiting a faint M dwarf (V = 17.35) on a 1.26 d orbit. Brown dwarfs a…

Transmission spectroscopy for the warm sub-Neptune HD3167c: evidence for molecular absorption and a possible high metallicity atmosphere

Thomas Mikal-Evans, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Bjorn Benneke +26

We present a transmission spectrum for the warm (500-600K) sub-Neptune HD3167c obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 infrared spectrograph. We combine these…

TOI-954 b and K2-329 b: Short-Period Saturn-Mass Planets that Test whether Irradiation Leads to Inflation

Lizhou Sha, Chelsea X. Huang, Avi Shporer +70

We report the discovery of two short-period Saturn-mass planets, one transiting the G subgiant TOI-954 (TIC 44792534, , ) observed in TESS sectors 4 and 5…

A planetary system with two transiting mini-Neptunes near the radius valley transition around the bright M dwarf TOI-776

R. Luque, L. M. Serrano, K. Molaverdikhani +63

We report the discovery and characterization of two transiting planets around the bright M1 V star LP 961-53 (TOI-776, J = 8.5 mag, M = 0.54+-0.03 Msun) detected during Sector 10 o…

Physical Parameters of the Multi-Planet Systems HD 106315 and GJ 9827

Molly R. Kosiarek, David A. Berardo, Ian J. M. Crossfield +42

HD 106315 and GJ 9827 are two bright, nearby stars that host multiple super-Earths and sub-Neptunes discovered by K2 that are well suited for atmospheric characterization. We refin…

The TOI-763 system: sub-Neptunes orbiting a Sun-like star

M. Fridlund, J. Livingston, D. Gandolfi +51

We report the discovery of a planetary system orbiting TOI-763 (aka CD-39 7945), a , high proper motion G-type dwarf star that was photometrically monitored by the TESS spa…

Planetary candidates transiting cool dwarf stars from Campaigns 12 to 15 of K2

A. Castro González, E. Díez Alonso, J. Menéndez Blanco +15

We analyzed the photometry of 20038 cool stars from campaigns 12, 13, 14 and 15 of the K2 mission in order to detect, characterize and validate new planetary candidates transiting…

K2-280b -- a low density warm sub-Saturn around a mildly evolved star

Grzegorz Nowak, Enric Palle, Davide Gandolfi +57

We present an independent discovery and detailed characterisation of K2-280b, a transiting low density warm sub-Saturn in a 19.9-day moderately eccentric orbit (e = 0.35_{-0.04}^{+…

Tentative Evidence for Water Vapor in the Atmosphere of the Neptune-Size Exoplanet HD 106315 c

Laura Kreidberg, Paul Mollière, Ian J. M. Crossfield +27

We present a transmission spectrum for the Neptune-size exoplanet HD 106315 c from optical to infrared wavelengths based on transit observations from the Hubble Space Telescope/Wid…

Following the TraCS of exoplanets with Pan-Planets: Wendelstein-1b and Wendelstein-2b

Christian Obermeier, Jana Steuer, Hanna Kellermann +13

Hot Jupiters seem to get rarer with decreasing stellar mass. The goal of the Pan-Planets transit survey was the detection of such planets and a statistical characterization of thei…

LHS 1815b: The First Thick-Disk Planet Detected By TESS

Tianjun Gan, Avi Shporer, John H. Livingston +35

We report the first discovery of a thick-disk planet, LHS 1815b (TOI-704b, TIC 260004324), detected in the TESS survey. LHS 1815b transits a bright (V = 12.19 mag, K = 7.99 mag) an…
